Grapes: Surely chose a blend of premium, locally-sourced Cabernet Sauvignon & Petite Sirah. Cabernet Sauvignon was chosen for its fresh dark fruit character and Petite Sirah for its bold tannins and spicy finish.
Oak character: Surely added a blend of French and American Oak to smooth out the tannins and deliver a velvety vanilla flavor.
Earthiness & smoke: Feeling that they needed more body, they incorporated a tea blend to round out the mouthfeel. Puerh Tea, a fermented tea, was specifically used to add a layer of “earthiness” and Lapsang Souchong was chosen to compliment the spice of the Petite Sirah as well as bring a lightly smokey note to the wine.
Balance: The addition of premium cocoa mostly interplays with the wine and the oak to provide balance.
